The answer is it depends.
First, what does the listing offer the buying agent 2.5% 2.25% 2%, etc? That's step 1
Then it depends on your brokerage, what your split is with the brokerage, are you part of a real estate team within the brokerage, is the buyer lead your own, or provided to you by the team, etc.
With that out of the way the 2% - 2.5% may have to be split 50/50 (realtor to team/broker) all the way to 95/5, depending on what I mentioned above. I've heard of some ridiculous splits like 10% realtor 90% broker of the 2.5%.
Everyone thinks realtors are 'killing it' lol. It comes down if they have their own recurring client base vs. relying on others for the work. I need to pull up the stats for 60k agents, more than 1/3rd don't do ANY deals in a given year, and majority do a handful. Why anyone would use a part time agent for such a big ticket item is beyond me, but I digress.
Before people go to calculate what the realtor is actually taking home, I am probably paying close 1k a month in other fees to be in business, between brokerage fees, insurance, license, misc. $5k-10k just to be active, can be done for less, but not worth it if you plan to do this full time like I am.
On the listing side it's different, especially in a hot market like this, I always do it at a discount (depends on the property and depends on the client and my relationship with them). Charging 2.5% to list when a house sells itself doesn't make sense and I don't do that. There is no set %.
Generally a few factors will drive listing discount beyond client relationship: how sought after is the property, condition of place and how much work there is to be done, and how expensive it is. $3M listing % is not the same as $500k condo.
Then there is also the question if the seller is also buying with you, if they are, more room to negotiate.
/disclaimer, this is how I do it. There are many agents that don't offer any discounts. The industry is so fragmented that there really is no rule of thumb answer to a lot of this. Ask another agent they will give you a totally different response. My goal is to be fair, it's what I'd expect if I was the client. Trying to squeeze every dollar out of everyone is a fool's errand and just bad business, be fair, do the right thing even if it means less money, and have clients for life.

East end non renovated type homes definitely slow, on offer night only had 1 offer. Still got them to come up, but definitely quiet.

I actually prefer lower commission listings because I know I can get a deal for my client because every other agent will avoid them, there will be no competition, then I am the hero even if I get a few bucks less, who cares

That listing has been up for a week, it's a forced power of sale by a private lender. Typical for those types of properties.
I have buddies doing private lending at 11% on homes occupied by people with 400 credit scores LOL
What could possibly go wrong..

Here we go, another run up on prices with people trying to close on homes with the previous approved and lower fixed mortgage rates.
Also tempted to pick up another condo in the core, seems like the lull before the run up.
First it was indefinite WFH
Then it was hybrid
Now the Path and first canadian place food court are packed...
then societal pressure from those working in the office vs WFH crew and the likelihood of butts in seats mentality to prevail. People will probably show up more often than not for the perceived job security and proximity to mgmt for that sweet promotion. At least that's how a few of my clients are starting to see it.

Race to the bottom, even though hybrid seems like the perfect approach. There is absolutely no point in being in the office 5 days a week imo.

Well after decades of fighting and back and forth, looks like someone will be caving:

Port Union
The condo story seems pretty common at that price range. Have another friend that had his condo listed in King West, 900k, 1 showing, offer date flopped, now shitting bricks. Sister in law listed too high for a bidding war, but still a little slower than I thought it would be.

lovely yes, just cram more ppl into the burbs with already poor transportation infrastructure  - maybe for once they can exapand fucking roads FIRST. let me guess, they'll mostly be stacked towns with 1 garage, barely a backyard (or front yard for that matter) and still cost 1.25mil
Property Taxes, y0. gotta net some income for the city councillors.
